Summary:

Tanzania did in 2014 a joint exercise with IOM Tanzania, under Comprehensive Migration Management Strategy in Tanzania (COMMIST), aimed at register all irregular migrants in the three Western Tanzanian regions of Kigoma, Kagera and Geira. As a pilot project, in two months, 22,282 migrants were registered and given IDs. Awareness-raising and capacity building for immigration officials and regional, district and village authorities will form other key activities in this project.
